Adapted from the Afi Chef website. Posting for ZWT 4. This lacks the fruit that is common in a lot of Bobotie recipes and is the reason I was attracted to it in the first place. It has a nice light curry flavour and a hint of sweetness.

Ingredients

500 g beef, minced
2 eggs
2 slices white bread, stale with crusts removed
water
1 onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons cooking oil

2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon salt

Topping

1 egg, lightly beaten

4
In a large frying pan, heat oil and fry onion until golden in colour.

I didn't like this bobotie recipe at all. I've battled to get chutney since coming to the US from S Africa, so I liked the idea of a bobotie that omitted it. Unfortunately, though, it's the chutney that makes it great. Also, the milk and egg mixture on top needs to have turmeric in it too, AND you're meant to settle bay leaves on top of it in that mixture.

A lot of flavors that made a wonderful dish. I LOVED the smell coming from the oven while i was cooking this. The only "problem" i had was that the meat had shrunk so much i had to make four times as much topping because it went straight to the sides. Made for the Tastebud Tickling Travellers, ZWT4

An interesting way to make meatloaf, but then, that's just a typical American talking about an African recipe! This loaf was great tasting, but another time, to loose some of the cholesterol, I might try using ground turkey (as another reviewer had done) & an egg substitute for the topping!

My DH was skeptical going into it, as usual, but said to give this 5 stars when it was on his plate! We made as directed, and didn't wait for the top to "set" after 10 minutes; we went for it and it is delicious! Great flavors! Thanks, Sarah! Made for ZWT4 Zingo.
